- This short documentary explores a wide array of stories in Jon Novick's life. Born with Achondroplasia, Jon gives us an inside look at how his Dwarfism has shaped him into the young and thriving man he is today.
Wow your awesome Jon I love it when you say "Doesn't mean that your better then them and does not have something to teach you" My son is now 27 and severely disabled and non verbal (I am his voice) but regardless he does have allot to offer to others by as you said curious children asking questions. Same as you, I have experienced all of the curious children, Some with parents that want to run away and others that are ok for their child to ask me questions and even talk to my son :-) I treasure those moments because my kiddo needs normalcy just like anybody else. I realize this video you posted is in 2013 but just saw it linked from another story I watched of you living in NY. God Bless Jon and keep being who you are, Your awesome!!
Love the closing remarks. Very true.
Heard you on The Moth today. I decided to look you up as you said you put videos online. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I learn a lot from other people's stories.
if only everyone could have the same awesome attitude...
From kids: "How old are you?"
Me: [insert adult age]
From kids: "Wow, really? But you're soooo short!"
... Indeed, kids are just curious and don't normally filter themselves. No offense taken. So that's why I tell them, "People come in different shapes and sizes, and I just happen to be small." It's nice, insightful, and counters discrimination. What we say to our children matters so much-- just like what you emphasized about your mother. My parents were the same way :)
Stranger: "Would you like some help?"
Me: "No thanks. I've almost got it."
And it takes some damn good skills to get those things, too!
Very crisp production, Justin. Good story telling. Jon makes a great subject. Well done!
Once again, my thoughts are drawn to the poem Desiderata.... :) Loved the video man, great message.
~ Hi Jon, you seem like such a cool guy! More people should have your outlook on life. Kudos to your parents for raising an amazing young man ;)
~ Hi Justin, Loved the way you put this video together! Thank you for sharing such a inspirational story.
His mom raised him so well
Totally would hang out with this dude. Seems super cool.
Excellent doc! Great inspiration for those who need to see the world a little differently! Great job Justin, and a great message from Jon Novick! Question - Anyone know the song played at the end, from Freeplay Music?
I remember that movie about the train, it's a really good movie, I wish I remembered the name
The station Agent, it was a good movie.
Very cool.
Just watch the 8-13 Democracy Now and Jon's, (and others), research on the lives of the disabled in Russia. These guys are the responsible interpreters for the disabled. Mature and focused on a mission. Jon must have some incredible parents who obviously conveyed to Jon a realism about his condition combined with the suport to make it in the "real" world. Bravo man!!! Bravo.
Jon Novick, I dont know if you ever will read this. I just wanted to tell you that you are a brave person. And posting this video means support for all the people that are in a situation like you. Life is a lotery, you cant choose to born healthy but you can choose being a good human being. But Im sure that you are more happy that all of those creepy people that laugh at you.
There is actually a 'dislike' for this video?? Seriously?!?
The coolest dude
The Station Agent (2003), that was the movie
This was......this was genuinely a pretty cool video actually lol.
I no absolutely nothing about dwarfism but this is a cool dude, down to earth and actually acts more normal than most idiots you run into on a daily basis that dont have dwarfism....
Would like to hang out with this dude.
Was the down to earth bit intended to be a pun? Based on the tone for your comment no, but man...
thanks for the vid, I am doing some research on achondroplasia for my class and this helps out a lot with my presentation, do I have your permission to use this to show my class?
You're just great enjoy seeing you and I hope that we pass each other alone life way. All the best in you travel and kick open those door. I'll be looking for your name soon.
You are so amazing (: and totally cute!
I grew up watching Little People Big World but I never saw Dwarf in real life until one day I went to PetSmart I was shocked to see a Dwarf in real life but was disappointed that she was very overweight is that normal for Dwarfs?
cool guy
